My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Dewey is a 2 year old Dutch Shephard mix currently in foster care. Despite a rough start getting hit by a car, Dewey has made a full recovery and is a survivor. In spite of his pelvis fracture, he is a happy, go lucky, playful, super loving boy! He has a bit of a limp, but when he gets the zoomies, he has the cutest gallop/wobbly run! He is super chill, loving, eager to please, super smart and playful. He knows his name and commands like sit and come, and is quick to take corrections. He is potty and crate trained. He enjoys walks with his foster brother. He loves playing with other dogs. He is also very good around kids and babies. He passed the cat test at the shelter. He just backed away when a cat hissed at him. He is indifferent to other small animals like squirrels and birds. He will watch them with interest and curiosity but doesn't chase them or get overly excited. He loves cuddling up to his people and really loves to lay at your feet on a blanket where he can be close. Dewey is super special and just needs a family to love him. Would you give him a chance?

Additional adoption info

It would be our privilege to help you find a puppy, dog, cat, kitten, horse, or other animal that suits your needs. Our knowledgeable hands-on staff is familiar with each of our rescue animals and will be glad to answer any questions you might have. Looking for a cat-friendly dog, a laid back kitten or a horse with a lot of personality? We can help.

To start the process, visit our refuge – and if you haven’t yet seen it, you will be pleasantly surprised. You will be able to interact with the animals in a stress-free environment, unlike a traditional kennel.

Once you have found the perfect, new companion, we will assist you in completing an application. Following a reference check, approval of the form and payment of the adoption fee, you will be able to take home your new pet.
Adoption Fees include:

• Dogs, six months and older: heartworm preventative, flea preventative, preventative worming and vaccinations. $150
• Puppies, under six months: preventative worming and spay/neuter procedure, if age appropriate, or certificate for procedure. $200
• Cats, six months or older: Felv/Fiv snap test, vaccinations, spay/neuter. No fee

More about this shelter

Alaqua Animal Refuge was founded in 2007 by Walton County, Fla.-resident Laurie Hood when she discovered that countless animals were being euthanized due to the lack of a no-kill shelter/adoption organization in the area. Since that time, Alaqua Animal Refuge has helped find homes for more than 10,000 animals. Currently, up to 100 animals are adopted per month from this unique shelter and adoption center, which serves as a true refuge for more than 500 animals at any given time.

As we grow and develop our facility and operations, we will adhere to our guiding purpose: To give neglected, lost and abandoned animals a chance at life.
